NOTE: By default, Ruckus Wireless APs will attempt to obtain an IP address via
DHCP as soon as they are connected to the network. If you do not want the AP to
automatically request an IP address, you must first configure a static IP address
using the AP web interface or CLI before connecting them to your network.
4 Connect each AP to a power source.
NOTE: If the Ruckus Wireless APs that you are using are PoE-capable and power
sources are not convenient, they will draw power through the Ethernet cabling if
connected to a PoE-ready hub or switch.
